Animal shelter in Grand Forks overrun with cats, urges adoption
The volunteer-run shelter says more cats keep arriving as it seeks adopters, fosters and spay-neuter help to clear space for the colony rescue.
- The Boundary Helping Hands Feline Rescue Society is caring for 107 cats and kittens while operating over capacity in Grand Forks, including a rescue of a large colony from Okanagan Falls.
- Operations manager Kimberly Feeny explains that unfixed cats breed rapidly; they gestate for two months and can become pregnant again while nursing at three weeks old.
- Rescuers have taken approximately 25 cats from the Okanagan Falls property after the owner entered a care home, with at least 20 more remaining that require months of medical treatment.
- Feeny is urging residents to open their homes as adopters or fosters, while the shelter relies on just 50 volunteer caretakers and offers financial assistance with spay and neuter costs.
- Anyone wishing to volunteer or adopt can reach out through the website or Facebook, as the shelter coordinates with Penticton Animal Hospital to provide necessary medical care and intake support.
